Spanish term or phrase: programas de retornos industriales
From a telecommunications company annual report..."industrial returns programs" makes no sense to me here.

Además de su participación en programas de I+D+i la Sociedad, con el fin de contribuir al desarrollo de la industria aeroespacial española, promueve la participación de la industria española en el desarrollo de sus proyectos satelitales, así como la firma de **programas de retornos industriales** en dichos proyectos.

Explanation:
After harvesting trees, a new crop often grows very quickly on the old established roots. These quick-growing trees are known as 'retornos'. This is perhaps a reference to new firms quickly growing on the foundations laid by an existing industry. Or not.
